The Jazz Voyager
With reservations made at 313-882-5299, this Jazz Voyager is all set to head out to Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan for some dinner and jazz Tuesday night with the Charles Boles Quartet at the The Dirty Dog Jazz Café located at 97 Kercheval Avenue, 48236, just thirteen miles from Detroit.
Seating just 65 diners and jazz enthusiasts each night, one is afforded the opportunity to enjoy legends, icons, and greenhorns of the jazz world. The café is modeled after an English pub, so there are lots of dark wood leather seats and lots of deep reds. The cuisine is upscale and eclectic and the music is live in this intimate space. Be warned music is played through dinner from 6:00pm – 9:00pm, so there just may be some chatter, hopefully not too loud. #jazzvoyager#wannabewhereyouare

The Jazz Voyager
Deplaning on the other side of the big pond, this Jazz Voyager is filled with the anticipation of sitting in a jazz club aptly named The Crypt, situated under a church. Located at 1 Wale St, Cape Town City Centre, Cape Town, 8000, South Africa, it has been a labor of love for its creators, among them the dean of St. George’s Cathedral, a jazz enthusiast whose vision for the cathedral as the people’s church led him to reach out to the broader community through the universal language of jazz.
In celebration of International Jazz Day tomorrow I will be privy to a Tribute to Louis Armstrong with his music performed by trumpeter Eddie Backhouse, vocalists Charlette Dickson and Graham Burton, bassist Wesley Rustin, drummer Jack Momple, Willy Haubrich on trombone & trumpet, Willie Van Zylon saxophones and pianist Derk Blaisse.
At the present time patrons must bring their own alcoholic beverages while the restaurant is re-applying its liquor license, which requires a period of prohibition for the sale of liquor. A per bottle service fee will be charged as follows: Wine/R50 ($3.74), Beer & Ciders/R10 ($0.75), Spirits/R150 ($11.22), Brut/R100 ($7.48). (13.37 South African Rand equals $1.00)
Closed Sunday and Monday it’s hours of operation are from 7:00pm to midnight. Cover Charge: R100 per person. For reservations: sms or whatsapp +27 79 683 4658 or email at info@thecryptjazz.co.za. #jazz voyager
